Baby come as you are with just your heart And I'll take you in You're rejected and hurt To me you're worth what you have within Now I don't need no superstar 'Cause I'll accept you as you are You won't be denied 'cause I'm satisfied With the love you inspire You don't have to be a star, baby, to be in my show You don't have to be a star, baby, to be in my show Somebody nobody knows could steal the tune that you want to hear So stop your running around 'Cause now you've found what was cloudy is clear Oh honey, there'll be no cheering from the crowd Just two hearts beating out loud There'll be no parades, no TV or stage Only me till your dying day You don't have to be a star, baby, to be in my show You don't have to be a star, baby, to be in my show You don't have to be a star You Don't Have To Be A Star Don't think your star has to shine For me to find out where you're coming from What is a beauty queen If it don't mean I'm your number one?
